Trading Strategy: Spreads / Volatility / Stock Indices

Program Description: The Volatility Trading Program is designed to exclusively trade VIX futures. The Advisor considers the current market environment in a broad sense and then looks to opportunistically place spread positions along the futures curve according to their relative value as determined by the Advisor's proprietary method. From time to time the Advisor may place a simple "long" or "short" position along the VIX futures curve to shift the portfolio's exposure and/or sensitivities. There are no trading restrictions or limitations placed on the Advisor and the Advisor reserves the right to trade in other futures markets, such as the E-mini S&P 500 and U.S Treasury futures, in times of market stress or illiquidity in order to hedge the portfolio's macro exposures.
